Education

Today the Sisters of Notre Dame reach students from preschool all the way through high school, and as far away as Uganda. Please visit any of our varied educational ministries at the links below to learn more about how teaching continues to find fresh expressions in SND life, every day.

Profiles in Ministry: Sr. Karen Dolovacky

When Regina High School closed, I thought I was finished teaching Chemistry and perhaps teaching altogether. But our good and provident God intervened! I was called to the inner city of Cleveland where Cleveland Central Catholic High School needed a science tutor. After a year, I was offered a full time science teaching position, but in Physical Science. It was both an eye-opening experience and a tough year. At year’s end, I was offered the Chemistry classes, which I gladly accepted. Five years later I have added a Chemistry 2 class and continue to teach Chemistry full time. It is truly a ministry of love for these students who need a good background in science for their careers. They also need understanding and caring. I believe this is the place God wants me to be and I love the time I spend with urban youth. I know that God is working through me to show these students His good and provident care.
